https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2020/01/13/burger-king-protested-one-million-moms-using-d-word-ad/4452296002/

Conservative advocacy group One Million Moms has condemned Burger King for its use of profanity in a commercial from August.

The ad campaign, first aired in August, finds customers waiting in line for a fake "Impossible Restaurant," which ends up being a Burger King storefront for the companys plant-based Impossible Whopper. At the 45 second mark, one customer, after sampling the burger, says: Damn, thats good.

In a statement published Friday, One Million Moms decried the use of the d-word in the ad campaign, calling the campaign offensive and controversial.

Burger Kings Impossible Whopper ad is irresponsible and tasteless, the organization wrote in the statement. It is extremely destructive and damaging to impressionable children viewing the commercial. We all know children repeat what they hear.

Imagine living in 2020 and thinking children don't already hear and say far worse.

But blaming the TV is easier than blaming yourself for being a shitty parent.

Weird how parents would get upset about random Burger King commercial destroying their impressionable children with a single word but are probably impressing their values as hard as they can on children every day for 18 years. They hate free thinking and want to shut down anything that could possibly make their children unlike them. And if they can't, they'll just blame the media for deliberately corrupting the youth

It should be renamed to one dozen karens, because that's about how much support they have.

It is a little weird for what is technically a "swear" word to be casually in a fast food burger commercial, but I feel there are greater concerns in the world to focus energies on.

A lot of right-wingers (especially religious ones) believe that the reason their religions are dying is because of the devil using Democrats/the media, not because of their values being out of step with modern society and frequently immoral.

The thing people should be talking about is how horrible the thing actually looks and smells (its one of those things you can taste by smelling it). They should also be talking about how bad it is for you.

I thought if anything was going to get backlash it was going to be the "Deetz Nuts" commercial that was advertising snack nuts, but the clear message of the commercial was a comical play on words as in "Deez Nuts"
